Abstract

A series of catalysts based on nickel supported on different simple oxides ZrO2, CeO2 and La2O3 were prepared by dry impregnation. These latter were prepared by microemulsion. The synthesized catalysts as well as their corresponding supports designated by Ni/ZrO2 Ni/CeO2 Ni/La2O3 were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), the physisorption of nitrogen (N2) and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The synthesized and characterized catalysts were subsequently tested in the dry reforming of methane reaction to produce the synthesis gas. The study of the effect of the reaction temperature was carried out between 650 and 800 °C. Stability tests were carried out at 700 °C for 3 h of reaction time. The results obtained show that the catalytic performances of catalysts depends on structural properties and not on the good textural properties. Indeed, the catalyst with better textural properties is the least efficient in terms of activity and stability. The two catalysts Ni/CeO2 and Ni/ZrO2 are very active for all the temperatures studied and stable during 3 h of the test at 700 °C. On the other hand, the Ni/La2O3 catalyst exhibits low catalytic activity for all the temperatures studied and deactivate during the test time at 700 °C.
